What's Really Killing the Honeybees?

Bee populations have been falling fast around the world, and dropped an alarming 23% in the U.S. last winter.

A strong and growing body of evidence points to exposure to a
class of neurotoxic pesticides called neonicotinoids — the
fastest-growing and most widely used class of synthetic pesticides — as a
key contributing factor to bee declines.

Food Revolution Summit speaker Michele Simon has issued a
new report in conjunction with Friends Of the Earth. She details how
three of the leading pesticide corporations — Bayer, Syngenta, and
Monsanto — are engaged in a massive public relations disinformation
campaign to distract the public and policymakers from thinking that
pesticides might have something to do with bee death and destruction.

P.S. Bees are responsible for pollinating apples, almonds,
berries, and many other things. It’s important to have the truth about
the pesticide company’s misinformation campaigns so you can be informed
and take action for the bees. Find out more here.

Do I have your attention??? The planet is being poisoned and (IMHO) the Honeybees are the "canary in the coal mine." I have shared honeybee deaths and CCD info here MANY times. There many ways YOU can help the honeybees.-Add Milkweed to your garden. GREAT for Monarch Butterflies as well

-WatchVanishing of the Bees and recommend to your friends and family. Heck, share it with strangers! It’s an amazing movie and you can find in on
Netflix and a short chip on youtube.-Stay away from using harsh chemicals in your garden and
yard. Most chemical pesticides also kill
beneficial insects.

-Support your local
beekeepers. Buying local honey is a
great way to show your support and is a delicious treat. It has been suggested that eating local honey can help with seasonal allergies.
Local honey is also eco-friendly as it does not have to travel
thousands of miles and possibly contain nasty chemical additives.

-Learn more about
bees, beekeeping and CCD. Have you ever
considered backyard beekeeping? Now
would be a great time to learn more!
